Saudi Arabia supports the US and Israel's ceasefire in the war against Iran.
“The Kingdom hopes that the ceasefire represents an opportunity to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable de-escalation that improves security in the region, and that there are no more attacks that undermine the sovereignty, security and stability of the countries of the region,” the Saudi Foreign Ministry announced.
The United Arab Emirates is on the winning side in the war, proclaims a close adviser to the country's president.
"The United Arab Emirates emerges victorious from a war we fervently tried to avoid," writes adviser Anwar Gargash on X.
In Iraq, near the border with Kuwait, there was a deadly strike shortly before the ceasefire was announced. During the night and the following morning, there were a number of attacks across the Persian Gulf from Iran, including in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain.
Oman, which is said to be involved in a solution to control the Strait of Hormuz, expresses hope that the root causes of the conflict will now be resolved. Qatar calls on Iran to immediately lay down its arms.
